[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I absolutely love my PHEV minivan.  I stay 80% electric…100% for my daily commute c but with the flexibility to drive to Maine on a single tank of gas.  Love it SO.  (Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid)[/quote]

PHEVs are a great option. Hope their electric only ranges get a little longer. 50-60 would be ideal.  [/quote]

We really thought that was going to be our next car. Even at 30-40 miles they seemed a great fit for our use case. But (for now) the increased cost as against hybrids did not make economic sense. Had the cars we wanted been tax credit eligible we would have gone PHEV. Without credit eligibility the PHEV costs for the cars we wanted were @$6-10k more. Add onto that the Level 2 charge install cost and we decided to wait until the next generation/iteration. [/quote]

PHEVs are eligible for the tax credit and it makes no sense to install an L2 charger for a PHEV[/quote]

Le2 charger makes a lot of sense for a phev as you will be needing to charge it quickly between coming back and forth around town[/quote]

Gotta love PPP's confidence in their blind ignorance.  [/quote]

It’s not actually ignorance. A L1 charger will give you about 4 miles of range/hr while a L2 charger will give give you about 30 miles/hr. But a PHEV only has about 30 miles of range. So yes, if there are situations where you regularly drive 30 miles then are home for an hour then drive 30 miles and it’s important to you to always be using electric range then a L2 charger would make sense for you. For most people that’s not the case and if you google you will find it’s pretty common advice that most people have no need for a L2 charger for a PHEV. [/quote]

Just get an L2 because your next car will probably be an EV. [/quote]
